Fürstenfeldbruck Votes on B2 Highway Route Amidst Amperbrücke Debate and Citizen Concerns
  • Some residents have already used mail ballots; five polling stations remain open for in-person voting until 18:00, with reporters providing live coverage.

  • In Fürstenfeldbruck, residents vote on the future routing of the B2 highway, choosing between keeping it through the city center or moving it to the current truck bypass past Tulpenfeld along the Oskar-von-Miller-, Fürstenfelder-, and Äußere Schöne...ginger Straße.

  • Citizen concerns include potential westward traffic shift, effects on Kloster Fürstenfeld, doubts about Amperbrücke renovation costs, and possible higher overall expenses.

  • Voters must mark three crosses on the ballot to indicate their preference for either the Innenstadt route or the bypass option.

  • The referendum centers on the Amperbrücke issue, with the broader question of how to handle the decayed bridge slated for demolition and rebuilding.

  • Around 27,000 eligible voters can participate, with five polling stations available; one location was relocated due to a viral infection.

  • A Merkur live ticker is providing ongoing updates as the day progresses, with about six hours remaining at the noon hour.

  • If both the council initiative and the citizens’ initiative gain majority support but can’t both be implemented, a Stichfrage (binding second question) will determine which proposal moves forward, without a 20% quorum requirement.

  • The Amperbrücke is deteriorating and slated for demolition and rebuild; officials consider re-designating it to the current truck routes, a plan supported by the city council but challenged by a citizens’ initiative.

  • Voters can find guidance on how to vote and interpret the three-cross ballot in linked Merkur articles.

  • Details for voters reiterate the 27,000 eligible residents and the three-cross ballot system, with practical instructions available in the coverage.

  • Poll locations include Volkshochschule, Rathaus-Foyer, Schule West, Schule Nord, and LiB in the Mehrgenerationenhaus.
